Willie Geist’s Gushing Tribute to Andrea Mitchell: Still in “Awe” of “Icon”

This week marks Andrea Mitchell’s 40th anniversary at NBC News, and the network has been filled with tributes to her.
But when it comes to gushing, it will be hard to top Willie Geist’s effort, which aired during Mitchell’s MSNBC show today:
“You are one of a very small handful of icons in our business, about whom a young journalist thinks: I can’t even believe I work in the same news division where she works. It always has been a privilege, and that awe has never gone away.”
The tribute ended with a still shot of Mitchell warmly holding hands with Gabby Giffords. Well and good. But compare and contrast with the iconic photo of a stone-faced Mitchell confronting Sarah Palin with an unflattering Newsweek cover that read “she’s bad for the GOP — and for everybody else, too.”
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Geist gushes over Andrea Mitchell. Gag me with a Newsweek cover.

There are a handful of female reporters who are just plain crooked. Andrea Mitchell is one of them. The only other one I can think of off hand in Nina Totenberg.

That’s why I say Obama is a religion to these people.
Look at the look on AM’s face. She’s a true believer.

Willie Geist is a low IQ news reader. I remember Jon Stewart ran a montage, a few years ago, of Willie Geist on TV and how dumb he is.

Thanks for posting the cover. I found another with a different, but still very unflattering, legend.

Sarah should have punched Mitchell’s ugly, pulled back face.

I remember when he first started out & he was completely clueless & I kept wondering why he was hired.

"Geist anchored NBC's hours-long coverage of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting on the morning of June 12, 2016. Geist was on the air for seven successive hours in an NBC News Special Report"

Little Willie's feelings for the nightclub shooter were not known.

What a bag of awfulness that stupid hag is. She deserves to have her face slapped off.

Mitchell needs a new wig. That one is starting to wear out.

Andrea Mitchell is a ghoul, inside and out.
Who has the gif of her floating around in the balloons?

A fitting tribute to Mitchell would be a little statue of her holding a fresh hot steaming pile screaming “hold the presses”!

I too saw different text on other versions.
I have no idea which one is the original.
Nobody here is going to be swayed on this headline or any other, so I didn’t think it was important.
I have been negative about some aspects of Sarah, but no dig was intended here.
